THE ONE(ISH) SHOW: THIRD EPISODE

If someone told you that the single County Court arrives on 22 April 2014, they were right (see "Civil way", NLJ, 14 March 2014, p 17 and 21 March 2014, p18). Here’s even more of it and other developments.

Budget Bonanza For proceedings started on or after 22 April 2014 there are major costs budgeting changes (CPR amendment SI 2014/867). The regime is disapplied to Pt 8 multi-tracks tracks but extended to all Pt 7 multi-tracks valued at less than £10m. There will be a discretion to apply to Pt 8 and other Pt 7 claims with which an amended PD3E will deal.

Save our District Registries Worry not. All of them remain and the patches they cover are unchanged (see the Civil Courts Order 2014 (SI 2014/819) if you must) except that Brecon will be called Brecknock District Registry, Chatham changes to Medway, Margate to Thanet and Torquay to Torquay and Newton Abbot District Registry and why not?
